PHASE NOISE
#HAT PHASE NOISE IS %
Phase noise is a sto*9(st1* 3e&tu&/(t1o) of the
fre.uency of an analo or diital oscillator+
Phase noise is involved 0y the *resence of
1m3e&-e*t1o)s ()d )o1se in the oscillator circuit+
!ctually, *hase noise is o)e o- t9e most &ele8()t
d&1-ts in hih'fre.uency analo JI circuitry for
telecommunication a**lications+
Phase noise im*act on system *erformance is often
critical. It must 0e reduced.

It is 4orth notin that the *hase drift due to *hase noise is
added to the *hase drift due to the !,G/ noise+
It is easy to understand that *hase noise can 0e (lmost

In fact, a &ele8()t &es1du(l 39(se d&1-t :e.. #$B; involves
